The most brilliant members of the
English parliament are appearing on
the side of liberty and justice, as they
do in all such agitations in constitu-
tional governments. Gladstone, La
bouchere, and others, are leaving their
opponents no ground to stand upon in
point of logic and reason; and there is
an Indication that the tories are in a
sad dilemma. The recent liberals. such
as w. III. Smith, the Marquis of Hart
ington and their following, are being
brought to see more and more clearly
that it will be q fatal cast of the die to
make a misstep just now under their
unholy alliance with the tories. and,
ia the event of any wavering, the latter
will DO left helpless in their natural
minority. Without the liberal skirm-
ishers' support the tories would be Of
coarse helpless.

How the Wisconsin Central VIII Construe

CHICAGO, April The executive officers Of
the Wisconsin Central railroad, so far from
endeavoripg to make the interstate COM
merce law odious by a too rigid construction
Of its provisions, have decided that the law
should be interpreted as literally as possible
In the interests OF tAe travelling public. They
have therefore instructed their agents not 10
abolish any passenger rates or tariffs which
are not contrary to the law, and have resolved
to continue the old second-class fares be.
tween Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis on
the ground that 1t is contrary to the true
spirit Of the law TO raise rates unless com
PEELED to. They will also continue to issue
GOO. mile commercial tr' velers' books, If IL
can be shown that their issue to merchants 10
not a dis crimination, or If the merchants can
obtain the as ent Of the commission to a dis
elimination being made in their favor. The
Wisconsin Central is the only road In the
northwest to take this stand, and il its rosi-
ton is maintained it will have an important
effect toward interpreting various features OF
the bill which other roads are enforcing with
odious s%tIingency.
